Fresh Apple Cake with Praline Glaze
Fall is my absolute favorite season! And I’m sorry to say, we get very little fall in Louisiana. The temps tend to go from summer heat to cool fall and back to summer heat all in a span of 3-4 days. So, it’s a short-ish and inconsistent season; therefore, it must be relished!
Fall = apples and pumpkins to me. What about you? Anyway, we’ve had a few days of dryer air, but no real autumnal temperatures, so I thought I’d try to rush it a bit with a perfect-for-a-fall-day cake. Fresh apple cake with a praline glaze…oh my goodness, I cannot begin to describe the aroma coming from my oven when I baked this cake – suffice it to say that incredible is as close as I’ll get!
And the cake! My word, the cake! Moist and dense with apples, redolent of cinnamon, and with the incredible flavor of the praline glaze, it is nothing short of scrumdiddlyumptious!
If you’re lucky enough to live close to a picky-your-own apple orchard, I envy you, and if you’re like me, apples from the market will do just fine. I had Jazz and Granny Smith, so I used both.
Delightful with a cup of tea or coffee as an afternoon treat, or even for breakfast with a cold glass of milk….perfection….

I can’t believe I’m posting on this site about a cake!
It sounds great. I’d be tempted to make that praline glaze a crumble with toasted, minced pecans. You’ve got my wheels turning
